Eosinophilic granuloma of the jaw is rare and preferably located within the posterior mandible. In this study, we report a case of multiple eosinophilic granuloma of the jaw in a 22-year-old man. This patient consulted to our hospital due to left-posterior maxilla pain that lasted for one year. X-ray and CT scan revealed an osteolytic area in the left-posterior maxilla. Then, the lesion was res...

The development of the dental arches in children with oral clefts differs from that in a normal population, due to the type and extension of the cleft, surgical procedure and timing, and decreased growth potential. The size of the maxillary and mandibular dental arches and the amount of interdental space in 3-year-old, cleft-affected and non-cleft children was investigated. Fifty non-cleft (NON...

Median cleft of lower lip and mandible is a rare congenital anomaly described as cleft number 30 of Tessier's classification. In minor forms only lower lip cleft is seen. We report the case of a patient with median cleft of lower lip, severe ankyloglossia, cleft of mandibular symphysis, and residual cleft involving on right soft palate and associated with other facial clefts. These deformities ...

In the present study, the distribution of eosinophils at different stages of the formation of hepatic granuloma in mice infected with Schistosoma mansoni was evaluated. From the results obtained, we suggest a new classification for the evolution of hepatic granuloma in mice, constructed from the phases described by other authors. In each phase, there is a different pattern of eosinophil distrib...

Mast cells (MCs) are large granular mononuclear cells which are bone marrow derived, they are found in different tissues and also they can move. Degranulation of MCs is caused by various stimulus .Oral pyogenic granuloma is a recognized oral lesion that possibly originate as a response of tissue, it is suggested that local factors can activate MCs resulting in mediators releases that finally br...

IMPORTANCE Contact granuloma is a difficult-to-treat laryngeal disorder associated with vocal abuse, habitual throat clearing, and laryngopharyngeal reflux. It has a high propensity for persistence and recurrence despite many treatment alternatives. OBJECTIVE To present our experience with recurrent contact granuloma treated with microlaryngoscopic excision and botulinum toxin injection. DE...

Cleft lip and cleft palate has got a high incidence in Asian births. There are different techniques for closure of the cleft. The furlows double opposing Z-plasty repair of cleft palate was first described by Leonard Furlow in 1978. Here we present 2 case of cleft palate treated with Furlows double opposing Zplasty.

The Purpose of current study to evaluate the incidence and treatment of conjunctival pyogenic granuloma after strabismus surgery. We retrospectively studied 512 consecutive patients who underwent strabismus surgery from 2004 through 2013.Pyogenic granuloma developed in 2 of 512 patients (0.39%). In one patient, who presented with pyogenic granuloma on the exposed sclera located at the original ...

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE The operation was performed with the patient under general anaesthesia. After routine intra and extra oral sterile preparation, stula edges were injected with 2% lignocaine and 1:200,000 adrenaline for hemostasis and for ease of dissection (Figure1). Incision was made around the stulous tract (Figure 2). The nasal mucosal layer was dissected and raised along with the hinge ...
